This townhouse went into contract in 50 days, selling for $50,000 over ask. We staged it for the buyer we knew it would find, someone who would treasure the details rather than gut them.

It was one of those Brooklyn brownstones that stopped you at the door. The parlor floors were laid in intricate patterns and every prewar detail was exquisitely preserved. Covering even a square foot of the hardwood with a rug felt wrong, so instead of the usual rug-first approach, we let the art lead. One piece, inspired by the Talking Heads song "This Must Be the Place," set the tone, and the rest of the palette was inspired by the fireplace tile.

A beautiful house, matched to the person who was always going to love it.
